[mkgmap-dev] splitter: option for maximum tile area?

Thu Nov 1 10:23:58 GMT 2018

Hi Gerd,
thanks a lot for your many hints.
The file contains contour lines with ele=0, but I do not know how many. 
Anyway, the style ignores contour lines at an elevation of 0.
Currently, I do not use the --precomp-sea option, but 
"--generate-sea=multipolygon,extend-sea-sectors,floodblocker". Are the 
precompiled coast line files OK again (I remember that they were broken 
just recently)?
Changing the source code of splitter is not an option for me: I have no 
Java IDE installed on my machine.
I'll try now with a severely reduced max-nodes value.
Kind regards,
Bernhard
